Crap!!! I wanted Smith gone soo badly! It would be nice if we could get something for Harper.

How are we still over the cap after all of this? Were we 30-40 million over it originally and not 20 million?

Re: Holder: Smith and Vilma Restructure- Remain Saints
 

we went back over the cap when the brain trust gave Jr. that new contract

Why can't we just cut our dead weight?
Bills did, eagles did, why can't we cut the players that aren't productive anymore

Re: Holder: Smith and Vilma Restructure- Remain Saints
 

Ain't gonna lie, not happy about Smith remaining with the team. Bite the bullet and wax him already!

Re: Holder: Smith and Vilma Restructure- Remain Saints
 

Its never that easy. There are multiple miilions of reasons why we haven't yet.

And 2012 throws in a lot of mis-information that make it difficult to determine who dead weight is.

Re: Holder: Smith and Vilma Restructure- Remain Saints
 

I do hope that the restructures include severe pay cuts and no additional years on their contracts.

I can't deny it; I'm a bit disappointed by this even though it was the most probable outcome - I would've wanted a more "clean slate" beginning for Ryan's tenure with getting rid of some of the overpaid veterans.

Oh for God's sake... Another season of our coaches starting over-the-hill and unproductive defensive players is in our future. I know that keeping them doesn't necessarily mean that they'll still be starters, but c'mon... You know they will.
